Do you think The God of Animals from the RWBY fairytails The Shallow Sea and The Judgement of the Fanus might be another powerful Afterian who decided to go through the door? Because looking at the stories I'm not sure, but the creation of Fanus in the stories does actually seem to be pretty similar to ascension so I feel like there was influence from it. Maybe someone brought a bunch of Tree leaves to Remnant and the tea or smoke made from it turned people or animals into faunus.
genuinely i think the god of animals—as in the inspiration for the mythical entity, i don’t think there is an actual ‘god of animals’ in the way that the brothers are real—Is Salem.
one of the faunus creation myths is about outcasts with nowhere else to go and nothing to lose choosing to jump into magical waters offered to them by a capricious, wild god, and emerging transformed and liberated from their unhappy fates only to be condemned by humans who perceive their changes as horrific. the other is about being transformed by the judgment of a god into beings who are then immediately blamed for leading grimm to a human settlement and exiled forever.
salem is “your grace” to some of her followers, particularly tyrian, and this is also the form of address used for ghira belladonna—she is literally addressed by her own followers in the form of a faunus monarch! there is a cultural adjacency to faunus baked into referring to her this way!
the world of remnant episodes on grimm and faunus imply HEAVILY that 1. faunus have historically been viewed by humans as adjacent to grimm and 2. there is a strong cultural perception that grimm are an existential threat to humans specifically, with faunus being at best an afterthought. and of course adam’s white fang carted grimm around no problem and menagerie just…doesn’t seem to have a grimm problem, so it’s entirely possible that grimm really don’t prey on faunus except incidentally.
in ‘after the fall�� as in V2 ozpin singles out The Faunus Member Of The Team for questioning after an incident, and while we don’t get to see it directly with velvet she is in tears when her teammates burst in, and of course with blake it is transparently obvious that ozpin suspects blake of being salem’s spy; it probably also bears repeating that back in the day ozma factored “the people telling me scary stories about The Witch who lives among Beasts and Monsters also enslave faunus and keep them in cages” into his assessment of these stories not at all, and doesn’t seem to have been all that fussed about the cages situation itself. the man is quietly racist but also, like, “beasts” in this context is a euphemism for faunus, we’ve all grokked this, yeah?
all of which is to say, there are a lot of small hints as to a cultural Connection between salem and faunus that together add up to, well, i think at one point she was similarly influential to the development of faunus myth as ozma was to that of human folklore, if probably not with the same degree of intentionality. like ‘the shallow sea’ is an allegorical retelling of salem’s plunge into the grimm pool told from the perspective of freely chosen transformation being a good thing. also the god of animals is said to be a shapeshifter and we know that shapeshifting is something magic users can do. also ‘the shallow sea’ Specifically brings up the grimm three separate times just to say “don’t worry about them, they’re not a problem in This story” which, Okay.
#i think the island is either#subconscious memories bc faunus are ascended humans#(if i’m right that being killed by a grimm sends humans to the tree instead of to light’s afterlife)#OR. a hint that salem has been to the ever after

On autonomy, and what it means to be Obliged to Help.
Bonus:
#a homestuck walks into an antechamber and asks#hey is anybody going to make this dynamic wholly deterministic and thus dubiously consensual by its very nature#ANYWAY bigger ramble below. scroll down like usual#isat spoilers#isat#isat fanart#isat siffrin#isat loop#sifloop#THATS RIGHT WE'RE STILL SHIP TAGGING IT BABYYYY#in stars and time#in stars and time fanart#lucabyteart#RAMBLE START: anyway i think loop is wrong here. they have it backwards. as-- in my opinion--#the main reason they could be called back into existence postcanon is because *their* wish for help is still not complete#they still need help. siffrin still needs help. neither of them will ever stop needing help.#they will thus uphold the wish until the end of siffrin's natural lifespan.#that said. what does it mean that loop can be so wholly forced to abide by siffrin's wants?#(assuming the dagger cutscene posession is them being forced to uphold the 'help siffrin' wish via harsh universe logic)#[as opposed to something capricious and cruel the change god did. which feels out of character for the change god to me?]#much like how the island wish and duplicate objects are neutered by simply sliding off people's brains...#is loop subtly ushered toward their wish? obviously it's not a full override (see: the bossfight). but is there any interference?#and if so. so what? does it matter? if they don't notice? is it even real if they don't notice?#and even if they do notice. the universe leads we follow. how much do either of them value their free will in a belief system like that?#the whole game is dedicated to siffrin habitually NOT excersizing his free will. doing things the same Every Time.#Loop ESPECIALLY does this. predetermined predetermined predetermined even in the FACE OF CHANGE. REFUSING. ANY CHOICE.#Maybe they'd even be comforted by having a universe-ordained purpose even if it is subservient. even if its to Him.#(though. i can't see siffrin enjoying the idea that someone is subservient TO them... then all their suffering is his fault...)#loop got into this mess via WANTING too much. no more free will. can't be trusted with it. take it away from them.#but yeah. gets my greasy detective pony hands all over this. and everyone please do remember i like to make characters Outright Wrong A Lot

>:3
listen to valentine by laufey then youll understand (also keep giving me requests today i like to see it as giving people presents)
#WELL its actually way more of a /yellowclock song before anything else but anyway#let me talk about these two for a second though. im very passionate about thsi pairing bc with every ship either of these guys are in-#-they’re both usually portrayed as like The Dumb One of the ship compared to whoever they’re being shipped with being portrayed as like the-#-one who keeps them in check i guess. but when you put them TOGETHER it’s like they’re the only ones who really get eachother and it’s just-#-really sweet to me. i love the idea of them both genuinely thinking the other is sooooo cool#yeassss they r my second fav number pairing that doesnt involve the main 3 guys#battle for dream island#bfdi#bfb#tpot#x finds out his value#xfohv#bfdi seven#bfdi nine#xfohv seven#xfohv nine#xfohv 97#xfohv 79#odieart

It's genuinely kind of impressive that they managed to set up their SA2 adaptation in a way that makes it impossible to directly adapt any of the scenes from the source material
#Stuff like Shadow's escape from Prison Island is kind of close but since Eggman isn't there it's ultimately a very different scene#I think the only scenes it would be possible to fully adapt without any large changes (such as removing characters)#Are the scene of Shadow standing on the bridge before Radical Highway and the scenes that happen in the ARK's altar room#But I doubt they'll actually do either of those#Krafter Talks

Blind as a bat
#i need to think about more hcs for these two#I think Marshall sometimes joins Fionna on her adventures if he's interested enough (which is rare)#or if he wants to tick Gumball off by showing up without warning like 'heeeey bestie what are we doing today *smiles*'#because Gumball is usually the one who sends Fionna to do stuff outside the kingdom#i think adventuring/traveling in general is (as we say here in Brazil) always either 8 or 80 for Marshall#because he's lived so long and probably seen more than half of Ooo atp so he just doesn't care much about going out there anymore#he still likes hanging out with friends and going to concerts but travel to the other side of the island?#to see an event he's probably seen happen many times before over the centuries? with the conditions he has as a vampire?#and leave his cat alone??? nah he'd rather sleep all day#Fionna likes traveling. I think she'd be more interested on the fun and active parts of the trip like sports and festivals ig?#and also the stories. give her all the monster legends and mythologies and romances she loves them#I think Marshall would know places in Ooo that are known to be hella dangerous so when Fionna says she's going there he just goes#“oh? i'm going with you then I wanna see how long you survive there 👁️”#She usually does well without his help but he had to save her ass once or twice already#fionna and cake#adventure time fionna and cake#fionna and cake fanart#fionna campbell#marshall lee#adventure time fionna#fionna the human#adventure time marshall lee#adventure time#adventure time fanart

Dating sim where Noah’s the playable main character and the goal is to get with one of a wide variety of campers on the island (to his protest)
#I started thinking about how life and dating sims tickle my fancy#and as you do I tried forcing total drama into the mold#this is the solution I came to. most shippable man who ever lived#I don’t know why I’m entertaining this stupid little idea but. there should be an even ratio of boys and girls#for the boys Cody Owen and Alejandro are obvious choices#for the girls I propose Izzy Heather and Gwen#if eight is a better number throw Duncan and Courtney into the mix#there’d be a good route where the romance works a bad route where he tries and fails and a neutral route where he either makes a good-#friend or finds happiness with solitude#that’s it. aaaand post#total drama#Starry speaks#no emma cause this is on the island she doesn’t exist yet

every time I see people talking about post-canon one piece and about how the strawhats all go their separate ways it makes me want to start climbing walls and gnawing on the plaster!!!! what do you Mean the found family is going to split up... what do you mean they don't sail together forever... how else are they supposed to satisfy that itch under their skin... who else is meant to understand them... who else has seen their most agonizing moments and their best victories...
#to me they sail together forever okay#they go on a tour to visit everyone and kaya comes to apprentice under chopper#they're known to kidnap former friends and take them on adventures#the world is so big i refuse to believe that its only gonna take a year or so to travel by boat#maybe Sanji finds the all blue and stays there for a year and comes back#nami wants to map the whole world right. they've only gone to like twenty islands thus far#i can totally see robin staying on to travel for her archaeology#franky will follow his ship (and robin)#cant really picture brook leaving either after being alone for so long#obviously zoro isn't really location sensitive#i just think they all have this restless itch under their skin for the next several decades that only adventure can scratch#one piece#one piece nami#cat burglar nami#vinsmoke sanji#black leg sanji#roronoa zoro#usopp#franky one piece#nico robin#tony tony chopper#straw hat pirates#monkey d. luffy#brook one piece

Some tdroti redesigns because I really like the characters but their designs are too simple for my taste 😮💨
#I love Zoey but I hate her design and I don’t even think mine is that accurate to her personality either#and Mike oh poor Mike his hair 💀#I didn’t take his personalities into account cause idk about them#Dakota ALWAYS pissed me off#she’s a rich girl with paparazzi following her and they give her a boring pink top and pink pants#DONTTTT make me mad#she’s obviously inspired by Paris Hilton/Regina George#and precious little dawn she deserved better but GOD her fit is SO ugly#I gave her more of a cottagecore aesthetic#total drama#total drama revenge of the island#tdroti#total drama zoey#total drama Mike#total drama dakota#total drama dawn#mine

#one piece#sanji#black leg sanji#everysanji#fishman island#ch644#i'm actually reading these chapters right now bc i know that fishman island is like.#a metaphor for racism and to some extent isolationism of communities#and how that allows for hatred to grow unchecked and hate is a very unproductive emotion#i dont think the hatred/dislike towards humans is entirely unprompted#i mean obviously we see how fishmen are treated above ground thats what sabaody is about#priming us for fishman island and the conflict here#since hody jones. you can see where his mindset comes from#and why he thinks that way. but at the end of the day he just wants mindless violence against the oppressive class#and that's just going to be unproductive and make things WORSE for EVERYONE#inb4 anyone says anything i am native american and have kinda sat with these feelings a lot#not about to go into my whole complicated feelings abt my own heritage here#that's what random posts on my main blog are for#but i also dont think otohime's idea of trying for peace without any violence was going to work either. not in the climate they were in#like its a very noble idea but at the end of the day... there does need to be some pushback but you have to target it in the right areas#like i think fisher tiger targeting the slave auctions is more of the direct action called for#and obviously people get caught in the crossfire on both sides.#but that is directed violence vs directionless violence ie what hody jones wants#its a bastardization of the cause to create more bloodshed than necessary. you know.#idk where i'm going with this anymore okay i'm gonna go back to queuing more sanjis

this is insane! zoro wasn't even at the first discussion where luffy said he doesn't want to be a hero, with his whole "heroes had to share their food" analogy, yet later he repeated almost the same words.
at that time zoro was locked in the ryugu castle in the cage dangling above water with usopp and brook, when luffy and jimbei had this discussion (chapter 634):
and then at the end of fishman island arc, as they're leaving (escaping), zoro explaing in almost the same words to princess shirahoshi why that thought of being a hero makes him feel sick, bc that'd mean he had to share his drinks (chapter 649):
(and nami was there to hear both versions of this analogy! the things she has to deal with them around)
#this is just!!! i love them so much!#either luffy already said that before around the crew and zoro just took it in and thought it made perfect sense to him bc he felt the same#or they really do share just one braincell.. or even less than that#zolu#one piece#monkey d. luffy#roronoa zoro#fishman island arc#mine#one piece manga#gif:op manga#gif:zolu#their characters and how they think about stuff! this is just amazing i love them so much#the way zoro really gets how luffy thinks about things like that probably without even talking about it with him. he just knows!#(that's luffy's first mate who will rlly have his back in these situations askdjs even if its used as a silly gimmick i love it i dont care#makes me even more not normal about them;-;
